Howdy,
While I was listening to your ideas on the Mary/Martha text, I thought of balancing a ruler on my finger. One end of the ruler, I’ll write “works” and the other “study” (I saw the balance being between doing good works and studying God’s word). Then use that to show your idea of the importance of balance between the two.
Thanks for doing these videos…they do help inspire thoughts!
Rebecca,
I thought I replied to this, but don’t think I did. Thank you for your suggestion and comments. Loved it!
John
